Suitable for General AudiencesThis collection brings together three extraordinary ballets by Kenneth MacMillan, one of the 20th century's most influential choreographers whose work forms a pillar of The Royal Ballet's repertory. MacMillan pushed the boundaries of dance, and these three signature works exemplify his searching genius: the emotional intensity and rich physicality of his choreography, through vivid crowd scenes and passionate pas de deux; the daring and the darkness of his complex and fascinating characters; and the mesmerizing, sensuous music to which his steps were always created.
